 Bamboo
is hot!
August 30, 2002
Reviewer: A reader from New England
Everywhere you look, you see bamboo -- advertising, catalogue
goods, book lists. If you have noticed and are intrigued,
if you have EVER considered bamboo, then you want Bamboo Style
on your bookshelf and in your hands. The author is a well-traveled
architect and her skills and experience are reflected in her
offering. The publisher is well-known for beautiful "style"
books, among others, but it is the author who determined the
scope of this publication: Why Choose Bamboo, The Ways of
Bamboo, Bamboo Inside, Bamboo Outside, On Your Own, and Afterword:
Bamboo and Beyond. There are many ways to read this book and
benefit -- hit only the photos and captions, read the chapter
you already know you'll love, try the "how-to" projects
or use the resource lists at the end. Any single approach
would be sufficient to warrant the purchase of this book,
but do yourself a favor, |
